[thelist] Search Engines & Content sites using Server Side Stuff

[Jason Lustig]

I have the same problem with my fiction site; I use Javascript (since my
stupid university servers won't let us do server-side programming and I
can't afford expensive server space) to code my navigation, and the search
engines and crawlers can't get through my site. What I would suggest doing
is making a "site-map" page or something ilke that where you have a link to
each of the articles that the crawlers can get through. It worked for me!
